Mapping A Share Fails to Connect At Startup
I am using Windows 7 I access my ReadyNAS Duo via Frontview I created one user: user1 and one group: users I have one share: files The share has been set with the following permissions: CIFS...
So here is the wrinkle to what you have been suggesting.
I have two computers for me and my wife. Both of them use a different Windows 7 username and no password and both need access to the files on the NAS using the same NAS user account that I created (user1). I used to have the NAS setup with open access and it worked fine. However I do not want anyone clever enough to hack into my wifi to be able to access my NAS so I needed to add the layer of security by making the share password protected and adding a NAS user (user1) with access to the NAS shares.
That may help you better understand what I am trying to accomplish as far as the goal.
Before your reply I read all about net use and tried it with the same result. My command line looked like this "net use z: \\NAS-01-F0-3F\files /user:user1 MY_PASSWORD_WAS_HERE"
I then added the command "NET USE /Persistent:Yes" to set it to reconnect at startup
The drive mapped fine and I was able to open it up and see all the files, create files with the correct ownership rights, everything is perfect except when I restart it fails to reconnect.
Any new suggestions? Thanks for sticking with me.
